1. Maintenance Monitoring Committee

Overview and Scope : Proposal to introduce a Maintenance Monitoring committee which aims to assist in rigorous inspection and maintenance of the campus and halls in general. Also to start an Online Complain Portal (OCP), where students can put up there complaints regarding any maintenance issues faced by them.

Aim : I propose to introduce a Maintenance Monitoring Committee which aims to assist in the rigorous inspection and maintenance of all the halls of residence and will also look after the general hygiene and cleanliness of the campus, for instance - Regular cleaning of the three water bodies in the campus, Waste management in the campus and so on. This committee aims to highlight the problems regarding various maintenance issues namely infrastructural and cleanliness issues and also take into consideration the problems faced by individual students. I also propose to start an Online Complain Portal (OCP), where students can put up their complaints regarding any prevalent maintenance issues.

Why and how is it necessary?

  • There is no feedback system to counter check whether the complaints of students regarding general maintenance are addressed.
  • The existing complaints portal is only accessible to the employees and professors of the institute. The student body cannot file complaints of any sort through that portal..

2. A Four Point Agenda

Overview and Scope : In sync to the career development centre I would like to propose a four point agenda to improve the placements and internships scenario of IIT Kharagpur including UG, PG and RS.

4 points

  • Conducting profile-specific-interview online seminar for the students sitting for internships and placements via a YouTube Channel.
  • To conduct Resume building workshops in various departments.
  • Career oriented Seminars specifically for the second year undergraduate students.

5. Conference Advisory Board

Overview and Scope : Proposal to set up an advisory board on Conferences which will encourage students to participate in international conferences on a regular basis. It would make the students aware of the opportunities on conferences available abroad.

Motives :
